A SAD FATE.

Young POIander Drowned at the
Clay P1ts-His Body Recovered Yes
terdaY.
A young man twenty-one years of age,
who came to this country from Poland few
months ago to seek his fortune in the land of
liberty and freedom, met watery grave in
the clay pits at the Horace P. Shares brick
yard Saturday evening. 1t being extremely
warm and the labor of the day being con-
cluded the young man thought to have a
swim and cool off in the deep water at the
pit. This was the last seen of him alive.
He left his friends at the supper table in fine
spirits. Being missed as it grew to be dark
search was made for him and his two suits
of clothes were discovered on one of the
banks of the pit. He had evidently taken
along his best suit intending to don that
after his swim. Being overheated when he
entered the water or else having been seized
with cramps he persisted. The sad news
spread rapidly and everybody lent willing
hand in the endeavor to recover the body.
but an all night search proved unavailing.
The body was, however, recovered yesterday
morning by Mr.. Potter. An inquest was held
yesterday morning by a jury, Mr. Swift in
charge, who rendered verdict in accordance
highly spoken of by his employer, Mr.. Shares,
as atemperate, reliable and promising young
man, who had he lived might have become a
verv useful and worthy citizen. Deceased
had no relatives in this country, but had
friend who came here with him from his ma
tive town and who will send the sad news
back to the bereaved friends. The inter
naent will probably be in the nearest ceme-
terry in the vicinity of the drowning acct |

A Temperance Champagne.

We notice the widely advertised Lactart
champagne, whose cut has for some weeks
been displayed in our advertising columns
as refreshing indication that a Temperance
drink, strictly non-alcoholic, is now COMING
into vogue. The evil that results from tbe
widely spread indulgence in alcoholic Iiouors.
makes the appearance of this temperance
champagne matter of national Importance;
for its exhilarating and refreshing Qualities
will make it without question formidabIe
rival to the imported liquors. Lactart Cham.
payne is entirely non-alcoholic, is delightful
in taste and flavor. It cannot intexicate II
is sparkling, invigorating and beneficial to
the digestion. Nothing better calculated to
aid the temperance cause, by furnishing
delightful substitute for the injurious drinks,
has ever been introduced to the American
public It's sale is already immense, and in
creasing at wonderful rate.

Captain Charles Fl. Smith Saturday after
noon left his home on Elm street, near Net
tleton's store, with his wife and daughter
and several young ladies and the party went
out for a sail in the captains sharpe. After
short cruise he put in at Skeeles' restau-
rant. No sooner had the boat been made
fast than the captain placed his hand over
his heart and fell dead at his wife's feet.
Heart disease was the cause of death. DR..
Barnett attended. Captain Smith was 81
years of age and was one of the best known
men along the shore. About thirty years
ago he retired from active work and settled
down with his family. He leaves wife and
two children, one of whom, Mrs. Dill, was
visiting at the old home, having recently
come on here from her Dakota home. Cap
tain Smith was much esteemed in West Ha-

The High school Excursion,

The High school Excursion.
For many years it was the custom of the
scholars of the High school to begin their va
cation with an excursion to some of the day
resorts along the Sound. Although these
annual outings were sources of great enjoy
ment and pleasure to all concerned it has
been impossible to hold an excursion since
1884, when they went to Shelter Island On
former occasions teachers and alumni have
united with the scholars to make these High
school excursions assume somewhat the
character Of reunions. But this year there
was no such union. So many, however, ex-
pressed the desire that the High school might
revive its custom that several prominent
alumni of the school organized committee
with j. Fl. Klock, jr., as chairman, with the
object of having days pleasure last Satur-
day at Mystic Island. The steamer Elm
City was chartered and the services of Rob-
1nson's orchestra were secured. The clear
sky OF Saturday morning augured well for
the success of the days adventure. Eight
O'Clock was the time set for departure, but
at this time there were hardly any excur-
cursionists on the boat. There were, how
ever, some six or seven girls and three times
that number of boys on the dock anxiouslv
waiting for further arrivals. When three
more came they all went on board and were
Joined by "Davy," who had his
basket in which there were ''few
more left" When it seemed quite
evident that the sum total
Of those present would not be greater than
thlrty-three in number it was thought mex
pedlent to carry out the projected plans The
committee sorrowfully dismissed the musi-
clans and refunded the money which they
received for the few tickets sold and Dayy,
compelled to relinquish the idea OF making
way.
Disappointed in regard to going to Mystic
Island the small band of pleasure-seekers,
numbering now twenty all told, made an ex-
cursion to Pawson Park. Among those pres
